What I thought I got
 
Thought I could throw up some pix. Beautiful red and silver metal flake and bright red and white interior. However, started pulling, and found wet foam. Floor and seat boxes now out. No discoloration of balsa; transom looks ok. However, starboard flotation box wet; trim pump kind of hanging. Starboard keel gunwales section wet; also gone. Post side box dry.

Awaiting final disassembly, inspection and clean-up before glassing in some red oak frames. Want to leave room for water in keel; go with some flotation foam and coosa for the floor. Working on rule book for ops. No skiing; you can jump out of the boat, but you cannot get back in.

Will wrk on pix...
